Its members, all survivors, patients or carers, met at a sarcoma seminar organised by Dr Sameer Rastogi, a sarcoma specialist at AIIMS New Delhi who is its patron. It is named after Sachin Yadav, who had pulmonary artery sarcoma and died during treatment.\n\nThe society reports a network of more than 8,500 sarcoma patients and carers, plus groups for desmoid tumour, GIST, melanoma and chordoma. It gives counselling, a 24-hour helpline, equipment such as wheelchairs and walkers, medicines and free scans for poorer patients, and help finding accommodation near hospitals. It is 80G approved, so Indian donors can claim tax relief.","asOf":"2026-11-04","links":[{"label":"About Sachin Sarcoma Society","url":"https://sachinsarcomasociety.org/about-sss/"},{"label":"Sachin Sarcoma Society home page","url":"https://sachinsarcomasociety.org/"},{"label":"National Cancer Grid: member list","url":"https://www.ncgindia.org/hospitals-and-institutions/members"}],"tags":[],"related":[],"cancers":["sarcoma","gist","desmoid-tumour","melanoma","chordoma"],"sections":["supportive-care"],"technologies":[],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":["national-cancer-grid","aiims-delhi"],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"city":"Delhi","country":"IN","lat":28.74,"lng":77.13,"institutionType":"consortium","website":"https://sachinsarcomasociety.org","programs":["Peer support and counselling","24-hour helpline","Medicines, equipment and scans for poorer patients","Accommodation help"]},"route":"/institutions/sachin-sarcoma-society/","neighbours":{"cancer":[{"id":"chordoma","kind":"cancer","name":"Chordoma","route":"/cancers/chordoma/"},{"id":"desmoid-tumour","kind":"cancer","name":"Desmoid tumour","route":"/cancers/desmoid-tumour/"},{"id":"gist","kind":"cancer","name":"Gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST)","route":"/cancers/gist/"},{"id":"melanoma","kind":"cancer","name":"Melanoma","route":"/cancers/melanoma/"},{"id":"sarcoma","kind":"cancer","name":"Sarcomas (soft tissue, bone, GIST)","route":"/cancers/sarcoma/"}],"section":[{"id":"supportive-care","kind":"section","name":"Supportive Care & Survivorship","route":"/fronts/supportive-care/"}],"institution":[{"id":"aiims-delhi","kind":"institution","name":"All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi","route":"/institutions/aiims-delhi/"},{"id":"national-cancer-grid","kind":"institution","name":"National Cancer Grid of India","route":"/institutions/national-cancer-grid/"}]}}
